Charity

The purpose of the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers Charity Fund is to support:

The wider glass industry

The City and its specific appeals

Education

The less privileged in and around the City of London

All members of the Livery are expected to contribute to the Charity Fund throughout their membership according to their means.

Our charitable activities include:

Awards e.g. the Glass Sellers’ Art and Craft and Science and Technology prizes

Scholarships and bursaries for education

Glass in Society projects with schools throughout the country

Sponsorship of glass industry and artistic glass awards and initiatives

One off gifts in response to specific appeals including the Lord Mayor’s Charity

In addition to contributions from individual Liverymen our Glass in Society projects are sometimes supported by other sponsors who may be corporate entities or charitable trusts. From time to time we also raise funds from Corporate Sponsors to support special larger scale projects.

The Glass Sellers Charity Fund is pro-active and enthusiastic in supporting activities which meet our aims. Awards are made at the discretion of the Trustees and after careful consideration of the merits of each project.

The Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers of London Charity Fund is an independent charity with Registered Charity Number 253973.
